    One of the most beautiful settings for a restaurant I’ve ever seen. The service is top-notch h and the food is fantastic. Come for the fire ceremony at sunset - flames from the infinity pool with the sunset over the ocean!

    Sentido Norte is always my to go place for sunsets while visiting Flamingo, Las Catalinas or any nearby place. Please read their conditions, you can go for sunset but also need additional reservation to stay for dinner. I recommend both! All dishes are real good!

    Did not know much about the restaurant walking in but I it was spectacular. Great service and outstanding food. We'd love to return in the fault where the scenery is likely even more breathtaking. Had we known, would have booked a sunset dining time.

    Fabulous setting attentive and friendly wait staff. Limited menu. That’s OK, but food preparation was unprofessional. I choked on fish full of bones in a sauce that was incredibly salty. Beef was ordered medium but arrived very rare. If a restaurant is going to play at this price point it must have competent kitchen staff and quality surveillance..

    Salad was good, main course was cold. Tasted good but was not even warm. Sat up stairs and there was no vibe. Lacked ambiance. Ate here last year and overall experience was much much better than this year. Not sure if I would come back.
